This site is undergoing constant construction, and will become a regular feature of FINAL APPROACH. I have taken over this collection from Forest Pearson,and will add to it as new articles and space become available to me. If you have any articles to add, or would like to see articles on other flight simulator programs, such as Top Gun, EF2000, etc. , please email me, bsimpson@direct.ca. I will need all the input I can get. Thanks!
